ARLINGTON, Texas – Training camp is almost here, and Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is excited his All-Pro receiver, Dez Bryant, is back with the team full time with a new five-year, $70 million contract.
Bryant missed virtually the entire offseason program under the franchise tag while the Cowboys and representatives negotiated a new long-term deal.
“I think we all recognized the nature of the NFL and the business of the NFL,” Garrett said. “I think it’s important to kind of understand that – that’s what he was going through. He was getting himself ready in his own way when he was away from us, but to get him signed, ready to go to start training camp is exciting.
